Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the prestigious Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque, the greater coat of arms of the French city of Dunkirk, a design steeped in history and symbolism.

The Shield: A Divided Heritage

The shield itself is "coupé," divided horizontally. The upper half, a golden field, proudly displays a black lion walking ("lion passant sable"). This powerful symbol represents the Lion of Flanders, acknowledging Dunkirk's historical ties to the County of Flanders.

The lower half presents a silver field, upon which lies a blue dolphin ("couché"), with a red crest and ear. This dolphin replaces an earlier emblem, the fish, and symbolically honors the French royal heir, the "Dauphin." The dolphin signifies Dunkirk's integration into France.

Embellishments: Courage and Honor

Encircling the shield is a ribbon bearing the motto "Dunkerque a bien mérité de la Patrie" (Dunkirk has well deserved of the Fatherland), a testament to the city's heroic defense throughout history.

Beneath the shield, the design incorporates military decorations, further emphasizing Dunkirk’s courageous past. These include the Légion d’Honneur, awarded in 1919, the Crosses of War with palms (awarded in 1917 and 1945), and the Distinguished Service Cross (U.S.), also awarded in 1919.

A Visual Narrative

The overall design tells a visual story. The lion represents Dunkirk's Flemish roots, while the dolphin embodies its ties to France and its maritime heritage. The medals and mottos highlight the city’s valor and recognized role in both national and international events, making this a design rich in history and civic pride. The design of this shot glass offers a tangible connection to Dunkirk's past, present, and heroic spirit.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
